How do you install the lighted logo?....

I did a search but only got tips on putting the ford logo on the tailgate(also at how-to on f150world), how easily does it install on the factory grill? Also, when does it turn on, is it a switch like its a pair fog lights or can you wire it to turn on w/ you parking lights/headlights etc.....?

I need something new for the front end, until next spring anyway, and I saw one on a 150 the other night and it's def. noticeable(this stuck out in traffic), so I think I'll get one, seeing as how I'll be the only other truck in the area w/ one.

Oh yeah.....97's logos are smaller than the 99 on up, is it one size fits all??

Yup I think so, it'll be easy to understand once I start on it, the big part I'll have to watch out for is overtightening it.

I'm anxious to see the results at night, espiecally w/ the green fogs and parking lights on, should be neat, can't wait now.

beast97,

Once you start, you'll see how easy it is. Believe me. I tapped into my fog lights to power the logo. It looks cool with just the running lights, fogs an logo on at dusk. Did you do the fog light mod? You can run your fogs with out having the headlights on. I have a copy of a post I posted about 2 months ago on this site about how I did it. If so, disreguard it then. There are other ways. But this is my way, an believe the best way. Here's the post, hope it helps.


Fogs on with switch in off position>
I've been running my fogs by themselves for 3 years now. Go under the hood. Your gonna need wire, one flat male connector, three female connectores of the same, an a good three prong toggle switch or button switch. The switch has to be at least 25 amp, NO LESS. Ok, under the hood there's two black boxs on the right hand side. One big one which got fuses. The other is a small one that has relays. That's the one you want. Open it up, their are two rows of relays. First row closer to the front of the truck. All the way to the right. Pull that relay. Now, their are 5 slots for that relay to plug into. Two vertical, three horizontal. Get some good wire, put a male flat connector on and plug it into the center slot of the two. Smack dab in the middle. Run that wire to the inside of the truck. Find a place to put your toggle switch. I put mine in the fuse cover plate in between the brake release and the hood lever. Now, fine a place of power, plenty of wires under the dash with power. Run a wire for power, and run a wire for ground. Take the three female connectors, put them on the ground, power, and source. Source being the wire you ran from under the hood. Hook them up to your toggle switch. An there you go. I,ve got a 30 amp lighted button switch, so I know if the fogs are on or not. Plus I found a power source that work with the ignition. Meaning their would only be power to the switch with the key on. Hope this helps out dude.

Yeah the fog light mod was one of the first things I did over this last summer, which is why I'm anxious to see how the logo looks w/ it. With the clear corners and superwhite bulbs in there, and green bulbs in the fog lights (which looks more like a cross between yellow and green), a blue logo in the middle will look interesting. Then next spring when I get the brush guard and put some KC lights on there, the front of my truck will look like a mini Las Vegas. It'll be sweet though! My friends complain now that just my headlights are bright and annoying enough, wait till next year, I'll have enough light to light up the road for myself and the car in front of me
